Hello,
About July 23, 1903 an orphan train from New York stopped in Hill City
and several children were selected by families in the area and
surrounding counties. These children were sent by the Catholic church
to be placed in good homes.
I have a four of the names of the children who were on that train and
went with families to Phillips County. I need the names of the children
who went to Norton county.
If anyone has any information on the children on this train please
contact me. I believe one of th
Hello Graham County researchers.....
Besides the genealogical connect boards, part of rootsweb.com, don't forget
the
Graham County KSGenWeb page, part of the USGenWeb Project, also provides
places to submit biographies, obits, stories, and queries for your ancestors.
The nice thing about this is that there are many places for you to submit
queries and other info on your Graham County families. By the way there is
also another site called GenExchange where you can submit queries... I'm not

Since I'm a real newbie to being a list administrator, I'm trying to come
up with more ideas to benefit the list. One suggestion on another list I
subscribe to is to set up a web-site at MyFamily.com specifically for the
list members.
If you're familiar with the MyFamily site, feel free to skip to the
following paragraph while I explain what it is. MyFamily is a private
web-site accessible only to members through the use of user-names and
passwords. Each web-site has up to 75 MB of space and has a st

Glad to hear your opinion, Jane.
The site is totally free, no hidden costs in any way.
I hadn't really given any thought to limiting the information to just the
Graham Co. connections - I think that would be up to the person subm
Hi list,
Just wanted to let you know RootsWeb has announced new postings to the GenConnect Boards can now be posted to the associated mailing lists. I have already enabled this option for our list. Not everyone who visits the GenConnect Boards are subscribed to the mailing lists, so this should help us keep abreast of other searchers. The last time I checked, there is only one query posted to the boards, so I encourage everyone to post queries, biographies, etc.
If you haven't posted to the Graham Co.
Hello Graham County researchers....
I just sent the following message out to the Allen County KS list as they'd
been discussing the online version of the 1883 book by Wm Cutler, A HISTORY OF
KANSAS located on the University of Kansas' Kansas Collection website. There
is a search engine for the material in the Kansas Collection and I thought I'd
pass this info onto you all as well... just in case you weren't familiar with
it.

Hello Allen County research
Hi list!
I was running through my links & found this one concerning common American nicknames in the 18th & 19th centuries. I found it very interesting, hope you will to.

Hello Graham County researchers....
We have added a new link to the Graham County KSGenWeb page as well as a new
biography.
The link is on the bits and pieces page at:

GRAHAM COUNTY "ENEMY ALIEN" LIST (1917-1918)
During WWI the government made reports on Americans born in Germanic countries
(and even their American born spouses!). The reports for Kansas have been
preserved and the Kansas Association of Genealogical Societies has been kind
enough to transc
That sounds like a good idea. Is the web-site free, or would each of us pay
some small fee? If you do it, I would like to participate. I assume we
would put on the site only that part of our family with Graham County
connections.
I will be out of town for about 6 weeks, so it will be a while before I
could add anything.

Thank you for your kind offer to help, I really appreciate it. News of
the arrival of a train full of children is sometimes found in the local
newspaper. I found an article on this trains arrival in the Logan
Republican, 23 July 1903, page 4, col.2. The arrival of this train was
probably a few days before this date.
This is what I know about my father and the family that sponsored him.
His full name was Leo Michael MULLEN, born 27 July 1900 in New York.
The person who took him in was Margaret D

Hi all!
While I was surfing the net tonight I found this site.
http://history.cc.ukans.edu/heritage/heritage_main.html
There's many pages to the site, and I didn't look at it too much, but thought it might have something interesting for someone on the list!

Bill & Diana,
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I'm a bookkeeper & this is our fiscal year end...not to mention doing my personal taxes!
You have my utmost approval. Background color is of no consequence, in my opinion.
Thanks so much!
Jackie
